Speaking of:
- 40,354
- 45,100
Difference maker in terms of title. In terms of him making 24 mil a year on average, on top of the 24 we give to another old guy.
Could he be a difference maker, at 25, at 17 mil a year? Yeah, I could hear that argument, and get with that plan.
He's going to be 30. And 34, when he's making around 25 million dollars. That's not a difference maker, that's a liability.
He's not a skilled passer, he's not a skilled defender, he's adequate at rebounding. But let's give him 24 million dollars and "hope for the best"?
What's going on right now is sad. Laker fans are that ugly girl at the Junior high dance. Just hoping someone picks them to dance with. Please Dwight, STAYYYYYY. He leaves. Please Melo, pick UUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSS. Take our money, pleasssssssseeeeee.
Instead of going for the RIGHT guys, the RIGHT fits, we're just throwing out money and hoping. Even if you can't get the right guys, or fits, why buy old guys, when you can buy youth? Why pay 30 year old Melo 24 million, when you can pay 24 year old Lance 10, or 11 million? Lance can play on both sides of the court. He'd also allow room to bring in a Monroe, or a Bledsoe, or a Thomas, or whatever other young players you can try to absorb. Melo allows us to go bargain shopping, to fill out the roster with nothing of true value.
What is the cruz of wanting Melo? That ******* guy doesn't even fit well with Kobe.2 ball needy wings, who aren't good defensively, yeah, let's pair them up and see how it goes.
Shaq, and Kobe was perfect. One big, one guard. Compliment each other.
Dwight and Harden, trying to add Bosh, a perfect blend. The spacing Dwight needs from his PF, the pentrating guard who can dish or shoot from distance, the weak defender, who can be protected by his two bigs. Perfect matchup of the 3 of them.
We want to put old man Kobe, with nearing old man Melo, neither complement each other. And we'll see how it goes? :\
Talk to me Tupac, out of Melo and Kobe, who guards LeBron? Who guards Harden? Who guards Durant? Which one of them is shutting down the other team's perimeter threat?
Randle will deal with the PF's. Our PG can't guard those guys, our Center won't be able to, so Kobe and Melo, playoff time. Who guards those wings?
Cross matched, Durant can guard either one of Melo or Kobe. Bron surely can. Harden, yeah, he won't be able to guard us, so that's good at least. We'll be able to score on Harden, only have to worry about Beverly, and Dwight, and possibly Bosh. But we'll worry about that later.
If it was 32 year old Kobe, and 27 year old Melo, maybe I could get behind it. Maybe. But it ain't.
36 and 30. 24 million each, on average. For at least 2 years. Then it's just Melo and hopefully a blossoming Randle. But Melo will be 32, and still be owed 49 million dollars or so. Almost the same deal as Kobe, but a few years younger.
You know what...nothing you said was wrong at all. All I'm saying is lets see what happens on the court...
Hell all of this and due probably going to MIA anyway...

I went off this. The question said, Melo, or no Melo.
Not if we get this, that and another
It was simply, Melo, or no Melo. Thee end.
You said Bron and Durant were that level, Melo was not.
That = No.
If you want me to switch to Yes, just say so and I will gladly adjust.
Man, what the ****?
Once it's official, THEN you'll say yay or nay?
Naw man, you either want the man, or you don't. On record, here, and now. People gotta stop tip toein and say what they wanna say and stand by it.

Still not what I asked, but point: proven.
Do.
You want.
Kobe Bean Bryant.
On.
The Los Angeles Lakers?
"Yes, I want Kobe on the Lakers."
"No, I do not want Kobe Bryant on the Lakers."
Choose, bearing in mind that nothing else matters. Just him. Want him. Do not want him.

That is not the question.
If we were getting Carmelo for free, then I would want him. You do realize we don't get him for free, right? He costs 97 million dollars, hence, do you want Melo?
Kobe plays for free, I want him. He plays for 48.5, I don't.
It's not about any other players, it's about their own value on the team.
Do you want me to reword the question for you to answer? I can do that.

I mean CP in a perfect world what do you want? And is what you want something that actually makes sense?
Bear in mind Kobe is a Laker and will be a Laker for two more years. And his salary isn't going away until his contract is up.
What do you want?

I can't wait to see him play, I think we got a steal.
As for melo...I think he's a lot better than most give him credit for. Just don't see how a melo randle pau frontcourt works defensively.
E bled is at the top of my list, but that doesn't seem likely.
At this point we all know that basically our only hope is thru free agency, either this yr or the next few. But there's no guarantee that any future free agents will want to come here in the coming yrs either. So we can either go thru another dreadful season and hope a player comes next summer or take a great (albeit flawed and aging) player now.
Its risky and a little shortsighted but I'm sick of seeing bums in Lakers jerseys... Yes to melo.
